Claymore avenue logo remakes

                                          This is the original logo for the band ^^

I have decided to remake the logo for the band Claymore Avenue, I did this while referencing them in my portfolio. I noticed the current logo looked a little disjointed and I could clearly see where the C and A had been stuck together. This again is development in Digital design here it wasn't so much as practicing with anchor points and handles in illustrator to create the C and A I outlined both the letters and used the anchor points and handles to connect them accordingly without the letters looking warped or skewed, the process did not take too long, roughly about 30 minutes with some added logos that I may use as t-shirt designs to replace the ones I did for the band last year.

All over print

This video contains a guide on how to create all over print t-shirts.

All over print tees seem to be massively in trend today,while I am prepping steamline up for a summer launch I am still coming up with idea's for prints an all over print is something I would definitely want to try maybe in vest form also. The video was a great help showing the process of the print and what to expect from the final product faults and all.
I will make some mock ups of an all over print.

Drop Dead Clothing production steps video

This is one of the most inspirational videos I have found on the subject of clothing and branding that I want to pursue next year and in career, the video takes you through the complete process of a tee from brainstorming ideas to the final production shipped to the consumer, the video has shown me a lot and has given me a better understanding of how the whole process works and if anything has made me even more eager and determined to take this route in career.

Steamline promo and website launch

I have decided that I need some promotional material for my label before it's launch, this was for fears that I would be investing a lot of money for something that wouldn't sell, I decided to model the prototype tees that I had made using heat press, I got around 60+ photo's but only 3 were decent enough to use, I edited the ones used and added the label's logo  and promotional links, the finished productions are on my facebook and are used for the website banner page, I have also decided to release the heat press tees online until I get the funds to screen print and until the brand gets a little more attention.

It's nice that campaign poster

For this piece I decided to go for something that I am less familiar with I mixed Typography with my own photography.
This was a rather fun change for me as most of these skills used a relatively new to me and I really like the final outcome.
the main priority in this piece was to gather a general feel that would attract the target market it's nice that were after, which was primarily students, I decided to give this a more student feel by including items that would appeal to them eg. bags, headphones, books etc.
The main focus point and definitely the best part for me was the its nice logo spray painted on the skateboard.
Once the photo had been taken I edited it and then began placing the typographical elements giving the magazines slogan the biggest font to attract the consumer, I also noticed the logo on the board was slightly unreadable so I added one of the logo's I had made digitally onto the piece

Paramore Typographical posters

Typography is something that I haven't had much experience in I decided to try it out for an online competition in which you were asked to make typographical art for the band Paramore to celebrate their newly released self titled album.
The first two were fairly straight forward, I carefully placed a snippet of lyrics for a particular song and made the main words stand out by giving them a layered 3D effect, I did this just by alternating the type colour from red and blue on each layer, I then add a photo of the band that I have edited myself as the background.
The next one was a little more out there but as a whole more difficult to read, I tried to recreate the band's logo out of the entire lyrics from one of there songs, visually I really like this piece but there is absolutely no chance of reading it in the right order I may try make it more readable in the future.
